One of the oldest Bordeaux wine producers in the Médoc.
The story of La Tour Carnet is identified with the history of France. Named after the medieval squire who unfailingly helped his Lord to resist the French monarchy at the end of the Hundred Years War, Château La Tour Carnet played a major role in the revolution of Medoc vineyard.
